Weathering The Storm
During a tough economy such as this one, it becomes even more evident that there are many things around us over which we have no control. Feeling helpless and powerless can be extremely frustrating, and at times, even overwhelming, but moments like these can also present great opportunities for those who are willing to accept the challenge. It is in these trying times that we must shift our focus towards improving those significant things around us which we actually can control! To name just a few: our thoughts, our attitude and our relationships.
Every single one of us has reasons to feel sad and depressed, but we also have a million reasons to be happy and motivated. The important thing is to make a daily conscious effort to engage in an “attitude of gratitude.” At first, you may find this evolution difficult, especially at this moment in history when so many of us are experiencing first-hand the devastation of this economic crisis, but as soon as you start thinking and making a list of all the blessings in your life, your emotions will quickly catch up with your brain, and your attitude will follow shortly thereafter.
It is during these difficult and demanding times that we must learn to nurture the relationships and the things in our lives that matter most. Sadly, we have all seen money, jobs and homes come and go, but it is the intangibles that stay with us forever, if we nurish and care for them. I created Wedded Bliss before the economy took it’s turn for the worse, but it’s message was relevant then and is even more relevant now. In a marriage, like in life, there will always be rough patches, and success is measured not by the amount of obstacles you are or are not faced with, but rather by if and how you are able overcome them.
I encourage all of you to pinpoint the good things in your life, be genuinely grateful that you have them, and cherish the people that are important to you because if you do, when this storm (or rather hurricane) is over, you will still be standing and you won’t be alone.
Life is a celebration, Bring your own BLISS!!!
I absolutely love Wedded Bliss. It’s about time that we start focusing on what is important in life and your advice is right on the money. Good luck with your new product. I know it will do very well.

I absolutely agree with your thoughts and I think your Wedded Bliss is a very organized way of keeping those thoughts and appreciation of the good times at hand so our memories and experiences can be easily relived and we can walk towards our future full of the things we’ve learned from our past. Thank you!!

I commend you for filling a much needed hole in the fabric of our society….Finding your Bliss.Often we look back at our lives and wish we had chronicled it better, celebrated it more and took more pictures LOL. Thank you for focusing on the Best and giving is all a place to store it. Celebrating your sure success, Ines.

I find wedded bliss to be refreshing. One thing this economic crisis will do to improve our society is to potentially bring us back to our “roots”, a time where values, family, and loved ones meant something more than what we give them to be. Wedded Bliss is a great opportunity and the first step in reaching this much desired goal. As it was mentioned above, appreciating what we have and what is essentially of greater value rather than grieving over materialistic possession that may abscond is a message that is most certainly evident in this book. After all, when did distressing over lost things ever get us anywhere?

Best wishes for much success with such an amazing product! Not only is this a great idea to savor all the wedding and life memories but for me I would love to capture my children’s memories as well and this organizes everything into one package. Fabulous concept.

I gave away personalized copy of Wedded Bliss to a friend for her wedding. I have never received more thank you’s coming from a gift that I have given. She was fascinated with it!! You are not kidding; it really is the perfect wedding gift.
Giving gifts such as money, pots and pans, and picture frames will always be appreciated but shortly forgotten by the recipient. You will always remember who gave you Wedded Bliss. It will likely sit on your coffee table and create great topic of conversations for your family and friends for countless years.
